The tinned copper busbars are perfect to prevent oxidation. Total of 60 cells per order comes out to 31.3kWh. Busbars are sized to handle the max continuous discharge rating of the cells.
These batteries in particular are great value for many different applications. Priced well for solar and excellent value for higher current applications like golf carts and car audio. This is due to the thick posts and each cell's ability to handle up to 489a discharge for up to 30 seconds.
Continuous discharge rating - 163a (1C)
Discharge rating up to 3 minutes - 326a (2C)
Discharge rating up to 30 seconds - 489a (3C)

Calculate Your Battery Pack
If you are building batteries for 36v or 48v golf carts we recommend our 7-21s 300a lifepo4 BMS. You can go with 12s configuration for 36v or 16s configuration for 48v.
Car audio we have 4s lifepo4 300a BMS units that would pair well with these batteries.
For solar storage we have BMS units from 30a up to 300a available.
It is recommended to insulate between the cells. Many customers use thin plastic sheets or even barley paper. Since the cells have metal casing you want something a little thicker between the cells than just the blue shrink wrap to prevent a short. This is especially important in high vibration mobile applications.
It is also recommended to have some rigid casing around the whole battery, especially for high amp applications. Some companies just tape around the whole pack with strong tape but we recommend a rigid outer casing or box. This provides structural support to prevent swelling over time.
